Jalapeño and Goat Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breasts with Fig Compote

by Amy Stafford on December 2, 2013

I really like Stuffed Chicken Breast recipes. If it is on the menu when we eat out I usually order it. Those chefs really get creative with the fillings and you are guaranteed a mouth full of flavor. Making Stuffed Chicken Breasts at home are easy, even though they look so fancy. This Jalapeño and Goat Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breasts with Fig Compote recipe has a long name, looks like it is complicated to make, but it is not and it is packed with flavor, spice and sweetness. Sure to please your crowd. Give it a try and let me know what you think.

December has arrived, its cold, we are getting ready for our upcoming holidays, the new year and we are short on time. This is when we start to make unhealthy food choices, long before the holidays hit. We are stressed and want something to eat that is easy and satisfied our stressed out munchies. Work at trying to eat a health dinner over the next couple of weeks and once the new year hits you we will be thankful.

This Stuffed Chicken breast recipe is easy (pounding chicken breasts is not hard, I promise) it can be assembled ahead of time and the spicy jalapeno will warm you up on a cold night and the sweet figs will make you feel satisfied. Serve this with some green beans or roasted asparagus and a salad and you have a healthy dinner in 45 minutes!

I had the good fortune of finding fresh figs, but dried are readily available and can easily be substituted in this dish. Store the extra dried figs in a ziploc bag in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.

You can usually find me in my garden, the kitchen, at the gym or spending time with my family. I love sharing recipes, gardening and exercise tips and stories of my backyard chickens and beekeeping.
